This is a winning attitude or the faith attitude.
- Spirit of faith speaks what it believes
- Job 22:23-28 If you obey the Lord, he will build you up. You will make your prayer and the Lord will hear you. You will decree a thing, and it shall be established unto you.
- Mark 11:12-14, 20-24 Jesus set an example of faith for us. He spoke what he believed and put his faith on the line. His disciples even heard him speak his faith. Speak to the situation and know that it has to change. Speak to your mountain (sickness, lack, stress, fear, etc)
- Mark 11:23 Stresses the importance of saying what you believe. Speaking the Word of God gives God something to work with to bring your deliverance. (Jeremiah 1:12)
- 2Corinthians 4:13 We also have the same spirit of faith, we believe and therefore speak.
- The spirit of faith is a different spirit.
- Mark 9:23 All things are possible to those who believe
- Numbers 13:26-33, Numbers 14:6-9, 23-24 Compare the attitude of the 10 spies and that of the 2. Joshua and Caleb had a different spirit.
- Numbers 14:24 Caleb had a different spirit (the spirit of faith).
- 1Samuel 17:8-10, 16, 23-37, 40- David had a different spirit to the crowd. He spoke what he believed and he acted on his faith. After David's victory, Saul wanted to know more about David whereas he did not bother to know him before the victory. Speak your faith and get your victory; those who undermine you will know the power of your God.
- The spirit of faith is a fighting spirit
- Joshua 14:6-12 Caleb had a fighting spirit even in his old age.
- 1Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith.
- Exodus 15:3 Even our God is a Man of War. We also should be warriors and not cowards who just surrender to the devil.
